Objectives of MTCTE

I. that any Telecom Equipment does not degrade performance of existing network to which it is connected;
II. safety of the end–users;
III. protection of users and general public by ensuring that radio frequency emissions from equipment do not exceed prescribed standards;
IV. that telecom equipment complies with the relevant national and international regulatory standards and requirements.

The testing and certification envisaged in Amended MTCTE Procedure v3.0 (TEC 93009:2024) ensures that the equipment meets all TEC prescribed Essential Requirements. The quality and reliability of equipment is not part of this procedure, hence, the same is not guaranteed through this certification. OEMs / dealers themselves will be responsible for necessary quality and reliability criteria claimed by them. Any equipment to be used in the network of Licensed Telecom Service Providers/ Internet Service Providers/Virtual Network Operators etc. may have to undergo additional tests as specified in License.
